Fenton Carnival Glass Grape and Cable Bowl

Fenton Carnival Glass Grape and Cable Bowl An iridescent carnival glass bowl featuring a pressed grape and cable pattern with diamond point interior detailing. Carnival glass was first introduced in 1907 by the Fenton Art Glass Company. Originally called 'Iridill' by Fenton, it was marketed as a luxurious alternative to expensive Tiffany favrile glass. Because it was affordable, it was often given away as carnival prizes, leading to the name 'carnival glass' by which it is known today. The Grape and Cable pattern is one of the most iconic and highly collected designs in the history of the medium.
